not sure what you were trying to prove with that, but it seems you proved yourself wrong. The link says "news", not "entertainment"

- pvg 4y agoIt doesn't say 'news' and the fact that HN is not about 'news' is in the first sentence of the guidelines beside being repeated in moderator comments endlessly for more than a decade. If you thought HN was about news because it says 'news' in the URL, you're mistaken.

- pvg 4y agoThat's interesting but you're better off going by the actual guidelines of the actual site and the many times they've been restated and commented upon by the actual moderators. Many relevant ones here https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=author%3Adang%20%22new%20to%20you%22&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... or here https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=author%3Adang%20%22gratifies%20intellectual%20curiosity%22&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...
- svnpenn 4y agosorry but you don't get to redefine the word "news". The site is literally called "hacker news". so by definition, its a news site. granted, its news specific to computing and technology, but news just the same. unless everyone in the world got together behind my back, and changed the entire english language, then its a news site.
- pvg 4y agoIt can be a perplexing site, sort of like meeting a kitten named Tiger and yet living to tell the tale.
